June 27

Today was a very pleasant 53 miles from LaConnor to Snohomish.  About 1/3 of it was on the Centenial Bike Trail which is a multiuse rail trail that starts north of Arlington and currently ends in Snohimish.  It is a well done trail in excellent condition and there is active work to complete a northern section and a small portion in the middle that is not yet completed.  The trail is in great shape and would be a fun trail for riders of any ability.

 

We have now finally left “shoreline” or sea level activity.  Literally since Florence Oregon, we have been at or very close to sea level most of the time and constantly in contact with some coastline or portion of the greater Puget Sound area. 

 

We are still trying to piece together the remainder of the route from here to Mt Rainier but getting help from several sources and it looks like it won’t be too bad.  We are just trying to avoid the heavy traffic and industrial areas surrounding the greater Seattle and Tacoma areas. 

 

We are feeling great and today was really a fun ride and hopefully the next couple of days will be as well.  Weather for tomorrow is a bit of a question mark but that may just mean a shorter ride for that day.   

 

Don’t forget, any of you who have been following and plan to give to the Foundation for PMR, we have just 4 more days of riding left and will finish with somewhat under 1500 total miles I expect.  Now is the time to complete your pledges at <FoundationforPMR.org>
